Wangan Midnight Expressway Forums -> Post your Automotive Shots!!

Random shots from Saturday. A little disappointing. I choked entering the last corner during qualifying. Instant fail. My teammate made it to the finals and got knocked out and landed 2nd. It was a lot of stupid bullshit, but ain't nothing we could do 'bout it. That's the only thing I really hate about drifting, is, how it has to be judged. : / First points of the season, the team had a good showing. The next one will be the first Formula D ProAM of the season too. Should be interesting.

Here's a couple shots of my teammates car. We just threw the wrap on it the night before the event, it was still running on his previous shop's tune and build. Which led to really shitty results. IE. Blown motor. Apparently the shop that built his motor didn't know how to tune and also did not replace the rod in the oil metering pump. Soooo, it didn't works. Which means, no lubricated seals, which means BAM blown motor. Sucks. But he brought his daily driver out and ended up snatching 2nd place in it. He's one hell of a driver.

Saw this Mustang in Jakarta but don't really know what type or model it is (it's bigger and has a different front grille), except for the Mach 1 paint job and stickers which I don't know if it's legit or not. (it does make a nice sound though. I can hear it from my apartment which is on the 9th floor). Sorry for low res pics.

Call me crazy, but I actually quite like it.

@Elise: Even if they removed the roof, it took me at least a good 2 f**king minutes to get in one, as well as having to make sure I don't bump the stick. (Unfortunately, it happened.)

There are a few cars that I find hard to get in to,like a Gallardo Spyder (even with the roof down) and 575M. Before I had this boot on my leg,the GT3 RS was easy to get into,but I sit in another recently,and it got stuck under the brake pedal,lol.

For me, I probably think Bodywork is going to be necessary otherwise I'm going to have cramps, so much, I could probably only think of a viable, yet horrid idea.

ROFL! I have driven 700miles straight in the MR2.

But that is a little bit more roomy, but alot stiffer and the lack-of ANTYTHING on the interior makes the road/brake/suspension/engine/turbo noise DRONE and come rather irritating.

Its getting a stereo and A/C before I sell it, because it never had anything when I bought it.

well MR2 > Elise for a road trip haha. 700miles is pretty far, but it still isnt that bad compared to what they do on those gumball runs.

my first thought when i saw the Elise on the gumball run, was like wow are you serious?!...and the guy was pretty tall too. haha
